Pistoresi Ambulance Donates Christmas Trees to local State Prison

It has become a long standing tradition at Central California Women’s Facility and Valley State Prison (VSP) to provide holiday joy for inmates who are not able to spend time with their families. Monte Pistoresi, President of Pistoresi Ambulance, and his son Ted provide Christmas trees for the VSP female offenders, along with those housed at Central California Women’s Facility. Although VSP is in the midst of the scheduled transition to an all male facility, it was important to Warden Davis to continue the tradition. Warden Davis stated, “Although we are transitioning VSP to a male facility, it is important to continue to recognize the female offender population. Mr. Pistoresi has provided these Christmas trees for over 20 years. It is my expectation that the remaining female offenders continue to receive the rehabilitative programs, services and activities they are accustom to.
I want to personally thank Mr. Pistoresi for his continued support and generous gift during this holiday season.” Although the number of trees needed has diminished, the thought still remains to provide a little holiday cheer. Christmas trees are provided for each female offender housing unit and the visiting rooms.
